UAFX OX Stomp - The Best UA Cab Emulation, In a Pedal!

[@MR-tf7yt]

"I apologize if I pull out some terrible sounding ones" Immediately switches to the most beautiful tones ever haha

[@bryceweltin2803]

All those UA pedals look so clean, it makes me just want a whole row of them.

[@benallmark9671]

Get your wallet out

[@davedavem]

The GAS!

[@GuitarJawn]

Have to admit, the tones sounded great

[@shanthalperera5216]

"Is This Love" is one of my favourite pieces to play with a good chorus... along with Purple Rain.

[@HMDTEX]

This may be a configuration error on the post-processing in or just a quirk of the ox stomp, but in some of the stereo modes, I hear the main bulk of the sound in left, and the "room" sound in right. And sometimes it's flipped, but rarely traditional stereo hard pan sounding.

[@CorbCorbin]

That app should have panning however one wants. Wet/Dry too. It’s likely they ran Pete’s pedal on one side or something, during that part of the video, or he just moved the pan to the left a bit, so the stereo was easily heard. That’s just one thing I could think would be possible.

[@phladjki]

You can go dry / wet on the output

[@benlogan430]

Digital John ( who we know is more than that) is one of my favorite presenters on the tube because he plays music. Not just the shreddie shred. The Captain and the gang all rock of course. That’s what makes this channel the stuff because Ben, John, Pete and Lee all play music not just solos. If you know what I mean.

[@stoneysdead689]

You do realize why ppl do this- right? It's called a copywrite strike- which is why even when John does it, he will only play a very short section or- he will purposely change it in some way. Most channels though have learned that it's much, much easier and safer to just noodle and not run the risk of a copywrite strike. You only get so many and then - they shut your channel down.

[@CraigularjJoeWoodworks]

Incoherent

[@chris.r.olsson]

Digital John is a man of good taste. I love your metal CasiOak!

[@Pulse2AM]

Sounds really good a long way from that half rack Zoom box I bought 20 odd years ago. 😅

[@1fiddleboy]

Pedal was great, presentation was excellent, fun at the end of video was priceless!!!!! Great job guys!

[@chrismataran]

Amazing product! Great video guys! Thanks

[@mrredritehand]

Thanks you Andertons for keeping up with all the unending new audio technology.. ffs

[@HMDTEX]

D I G I T A L J O H N is such a tasteful player.

[@bricezz8267]

Enfin une vidéo qui présente le son clean du V4 the jack préamp (en standalone). L' association avec l'OX Stomp est excellente. A mes oreilles, c'est le mariage idéal pour les sons clean, crunch et lead avec maitrise du niveau sonore (en plus les effets sur l'OX sont excellents aussi), le meilleur de l'analogique et le meilleur du numérique ! L'absence de version logicielle pour PC/Mac de l'application de l'OX est vraiment une lacune (incompréhensible) à laquelle UA doit remédier, ça ne doit pas être très compliqué vu leur pédigrée.

[@BrandonNevermind]

Ox box in a pedal?! This is huge!

[@josearjona3728]

The original Ox Box was a load box, this is not

[@BrandonNevermind]

@@josearjona3728 Good point. Still a nice innovation though!

[@tommywallberg]

One of the best channel out there!

[@stoneysdead689]

Guys- if a piece of gear has tons of options- you guys are like "This thing is amazing, it has tons of options..." if its simple you guys are like "This thing is amazing, it gets rid of all the options and makes it simple." I will be the first to admit that when I buy a pack of IRs- generally from York Audio- they come with like 300 or so IRs- which is intimidating. I mean are you supposed to sit there and cycle through all 300? If you did, could you really remember what number 36 sounded like by the time you're on number125? Of course you couldn't- so it's kind of pointless to think you're going to compare them all in any realistic sense. What I do is pull up the first one- set my amp and so forth accordingly- to make it sound as good as possible- then start cycling through the IRs just for that particular mic- which is usually about 20 or so IRs. Once I find the ones I like- I put them in a separate folder named after that mic. When you get done you have 1-3 IRs form each mic that you liked the most put in a separate folder- and from then on you have a much more manageable list of options to deal with.

[@gregmize01]

James Santiago is LEGEND!

[@AllanGildea]

Great player, gorgeous sounds.

[@sjc5]

This thing sounds stinking good

[@plefevre]

Every time I hear this pedal being demoed, the tones are to die for. Not sure how much to attribute that to the OX Stomp or the amp sim that's being used.

[@Timm4y]

I have one. It sounds awesome, but there's two big gripes for me: 1. The app is kinda meh to work with - moving the sliders with the fingers isnt ideal and loading screens can be a bit slow. This pedal would benefit massively from a desktop app! Please! 2. Worse than that is the horrible Bluetooth connection - more often than not it just doesn't connect to either of my phones, and there's a lot of people having this problem. Hopefully they'll fix it soon, because it's such a bummer for a great product!

[@chrismartin6623]

WE NEED THE PRS TOUR

[@sailisi]

Would it be better with Poweramp sim or Poweramp Pedal with DI out into the ox stomp? Two notes or Mooer Radar have the power amp sim , i wonder if its a Big of a Plus for the situation that we just have only a Preamp Pedal .

[@swedeinla]

would love a video of this, lets say paired up with a valeton for instance. Could potentially take the Valeton from very good to INCREDIBLY freaking outstanding.

[@HewittH]

I've run an Iridium, a NUX MG-30, and a Joyo Oxford Sound (Orange) into this pedal. The Joyo was extremely fun to play and I got a wide range of great tones out of it. The Iridium sounded great too. A little more nuanced. The NUX was a little more challenging, but I just didn't spend enough time with it. I'm looking forward to trying even more preamp pedals too. I will say the UA pedal could connect to the app more relaliably.

[@stoneysdead689]

LOL- I misread this and thought you said it could connect to the "amp" more reliably- I was really confused until I figured out my mistake. Yeah- this is the problem with apps- and the reason I refuse to buy gear that relies on an app to make changes or have full functionality. If I can't make it do everything it does without an app or connecting to a computer- I don't want it.

[@HewittH]

@@stoneysdead689 yeah, I get that about not wanting to need an app. I've been going back and forth between wanting an all-in-one modeler and separate pedals. Pedals won out because I want knobs, buttons, and sliders for every function. But then this pedal came out and I caved a little. You can live with what can be tweaked from the face of it, or you can set it up once with the app and live with your choices, or you can go in every time you need any little thing. I'm hoping to go for that second option.

[@stoneysdead689]

@@HewittH I hear you- I've made a few compromises myself and bought a Headrush MX5 modeler and powered cab- I have to admit, after years of swearing I would never go digital- I would never go back now. The Headrush doesn't use an app or anything to just use it- but if you want to add third party IRs and new rigs and stuff- which make it sound light years better- you have to connect it to your pc. That said- so far, each time I've connected it and powered it up- it pops up like a drive and there's no issues- very easy to use. The modeler itself uses a touch screen, drag and drop interface which only took me a day or so to figure out- very intuitive. It's surprised me how easy and well it's all worked- knock on wood. Once I figured out how to use IRs and got some good ones- it sounds twice as good as when I first got it.

[@Sagerydian]

If you run a preamp pedal into a Cab simulation - you leave out the power section emulation, right? Or am I missing something?

[@okidoke-xe8gj]

YES/NO the OX has no power amp sim..so yes...other units like the Radar have... so no

[@Zhivago392]

I am kind of confused about whether I "need" this. I have a numerous different set ups, and one of those set ups is running the UA dream for my live rig to run direct. If I am running the dream, an am relatively happy with my sound, would there be a need or benefit to run the OX + the Dream? What would that be? My assumption is the dream already has certain cab options, not sure why the ox would be needed, but maybe im missing something. Thanks!

[@seheydt]

The interesting part of adding the ox stomp after the dream in your example is that the OX stomp has other cabinets and mics that might pique your interest and it also has the added bonus of having some effects in it like delay, reverb etc. I’m exploring right now myself.

[@JoshBattershell]

You can use the OX stomp to effectively add an FX Loop too. Turn the cab sim off on the dream, put your FX loop pedals, then the ox stomp

[@tomusic8887]

You buy the ox for loadbox and not for cab sim? 🤷

[@ivorharden]

John Sykes played Whitesnake Is this Love not Bernie. But RIP to Bernie, one of the good guys of rock.

[@born_hard9705]

Can u use this with a little headphone amp like the FiiO BTR7?

[@nedludd3641]

What am I missing here? So, Guitar -> Preamp -> Stomp (IR cab sim) -> Valve Amp -> Speakers --- Am I mistaken? If no, then why would you do that? If yes, then what's going on?

[@tonedowne]

It's an amp booth and recording chain in a pedal. You need an amp tone to put in it, and then it will give you speaker cabinet, room sounds, microphones, EQ, compressor, chorus/delay and reverb.

[@davedraws76]

Dude. Your iridium is an amp head. This is a speaker cabinet.

[@tijsboon7360]

Made for in to the computer or amp?

[@LysanderLH]

I want the guitar and both effects units. Is there a way to change presets with a footswitcher? Will be in touch shortly.

[@tonedowne]

Yes there is. you can choose what you want the foot switches on the OX to do. One of the options is to switch presets. Won't work with an external foot switch though, as it has no midi.

[@namagenshu]

Digital John needs more air time doing stuff like this. really nice playing without the "let me solo over and over" thing.

[@Guvnor513]

The lesser options with the OX are what make it so awesome.

[@Celticsaint777]

Does this pedal gave the attenuation that a real speaker has?

[@davedavem]

The Woman Tone is some of the way there - I reckon you'd need a Les Paul or SG on the neck pickup with the tone rolled off.

[@LA.Guitar]

Bernie!? He had nothing to do with Is This Love? That was John Sykes!!

[@AriqAlok]

I love Lee.

[@rt5u]

I just want a plugin for the speaker emulation... UAD please!!!!

[@davedavem]

Great looking knobs. The ones on the pedal, not Cpt. Lee and dIgITaL JoHn!

[@MarcelLeSueur]

Would this work with a Benson Preamp into the OX stomp?

[@okidoke-xe8gj]

of course...you can even shoot your Iphone through that thing!

[@kellybrincks]

Yes. More Schecter love

[@Papo_Bostero]

The best Andertons guitar related videos are the ones made with Rob Chapman and John Connearn, great video guys

[@stopcallingmeshirley]

Dig the orange strat

[@alexholdenii4946]

Does it work as a attenuator also?

[@TheChristafershawn]

no

[@jhneilson]

Really wish the SPEAKER DRIVE knob would've been a PAN knob instead. Pair it with a 3 way toggle to select whether you're panning mic 1, mic 2, or the room. Speaker drive is a set and forget in my mind. But looking forward to trying one! @UniversalAudio

[@TeleTonemonkey]

So can I plug this into my tube amp?

[@JoshBattershell]

No. You need the full sized ox box for that

[@wcvalentine5996]

The ox stomp and box needs bass cabs!!!!!!!

[@damasterkarej]

Question to Captain: if you could walk on stage with only one, only once and play together - would you choose Clapton or Mayer?

[@christianboddum8783]

Clapton for sure!

[@andertons]

Clapton! (but its a close call!)

[@h20s56]

What are we hearing this through? I don't 100% understand this signal chain, The Jack to Ox Stomp to then what? Speaker cab? Into a computer for recording?

[@joelhabrial3897]

Glad I watched the video! It seems UA has undersold this with all the additional capability available in the app. I was thinking the price seemed way too high for a cab sim, but I'll have to take a closer look!

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Nice

[@Mycloudacoustic]

Like years after two notes cab no ? Or am I missing something

[@isaacandhismusic1153]

Needs a headphone out and to be able to use usb c as an interface, so many other can sim options that are useful as practice tools and quick recording. Just can’t see this being great for the people that usually are chasing amp and cab sim pedals

[@henrykc3]

IMPORTANT NOTE: The big Universal Audio OX Reactive Amp Attenuator with Speaker Modeling is using IRs, the small OX Stomp does not use IRs, it is just a pure digital speaker modeling. I found something even better for Marshall Plexi sounds: it is SV20C (what a great speaker emulation and modeling, sounds real 🙂

[@markntexas8265]

How good does it sound out 73 decibels?

[@henrykc3]

Do you mean that the speaker emulation is analog and not a digital modeling?

[@dansomerville]

The ox box doesn’t use IR’s it uses the same speaker modelling. What are you talking about

[@alienlovesecrets9379]

I'm so tired of "the best"...
